I/O shield missing
by CatalinInstallation was very easy and fast as expected , the BIOS version was 1210 which was good because was already compatible withm my I7 14700k I couldn't rate it 5* because as a new product the I/O shield was missing.

Purchased this board to go with an all around upgrade for my old trusty kaby lake (7700k) system ive had to a 13700k and BOY does it cover all options, You have PCIE5 for current gen and future GPU support meaning should i upgrade from my rtx3080 i will be covered for extra bandwidth, Ontop of that are 4 m2 slots for multiple nvme drives though its a shame that not even one is PCIE5 i can make do with the pcie4 bandwidth and am sure this would be more than enough for the average consumer thought ofcourse oldschool sata ports are there should you need them for some basic ssd's or a mechanical The white and silver design fits nicely into a modern white case and looks lovely even without tonnes of RGB lighting Coupled with plenty of extra header options for USB and fans/water cooling i would say this board is a perfect choice for a mid range upgrade and would highly recommend it
